Hydrology and Geophysics Event,
Keele
University, Staffordshire
This one-day event, from The Geological Society of London, aims to showcase recent developments and good practice in field-related investigative techniques, groundwater behaviour modelling and the determination of hydro-geological characteristics through the study of geophysical properties.
Groundwater investigations frequently employ geophysical surveys to provide non-invasive information on the subsurface distribution and condition of a water resource. The use of geophysical survey techniques, frequently integrated with numerical modelling, has increased greatly in recent years with a notable extension of scope into 3D and temporal 4D studies.
The assessment of water resource availability has been assisted by the application of numerous geophysical techniques, most notably electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), ground penetrating radar (GPR) and ground conductivity. Geophysics has also been used widely to investigate the presence and extent of contaminants within groundwater systems.
Oral presentations will cover all applications of geophysical techniques for both above-surface and down-hole environments. Speakers come from industrial, governmental and academic research personnel. The keynote will be given by Dr Andrew Binley (Lancaster University) on ‘Hydrogeophysics: expectations, limitations and challenges’.
Entec’s Joe Lenham is convening this event on behalf of The Geological
Society of London; Entec also has a strong speaker presence, with Marcus Adams
discussing ‘Applied geophysics for water resources in the Lower Greensand’ and
Kate Wilkinson describing ‘Salination studies in SW Australia’.
